Assigning zones to a layer

As with heightmaps we assign zones to a layer by right-clicking on the layer and selecting the Assign to selection. For material layers a dialog box appears asking for texture information.

There are two types of material layers, how you populate this dialog will determine the layer type. A material can be a simple color layer ( a texture stretched over the terrain surface) or a masked texture.
